Submit an Update to the Database
The Internet Pinball Database is the product of the cooperation
between several pinball enthusiasts. You can help improve the
database even further by adding information you know that's not
already in the database and by checking the information that's
already in there to make sure that it's correct.
* Ways to Help \\
- Machine at Home? ::
If you have a pinball machine at home, please look it up in the
database and check the entry for correctness and completeness.
Since most entries are brief you can probably flesh them out.
\\
- Operator or Technician? ::
You really have an opportunity to help! When a machine comes
your way, look it up in the database and check that the entry is
correct. In many cases you can probably add some information as
well. If you're really ambitious, take photographs and submit
them as well.
\\
- Just a Player? ::
You can still help! Look the machines you play regularly up in
the database and make sure the entry matches your experiences.

How to Submit an Update

Just e-mail your update to . Please make
sure you follow the following guidelines, or we may be unable to
use the information you provide.
* Guidelines \\
- Identify theMachine! ::
We need to know which machine you are talking about. Since
there are often several machines with the same name and
sometimes even the same manufacturer, it is sometimes
difficult for us to figure out which machine is meant just
from the name.

We always need the name of the machine you're sending us
information about. If you can, please tell us the ID number of
the machine as well. The ID number is listed in all search
results. If you can't find the ID number, we'll need the
manufacturer and the approximate age of the machine if you can
figure it out.
\\
- Where Did You Getthe Information? ::
When we get conflicting information, and we often do, we try
to decide on which version to include in the database based on
where the information came from. So when sending us an update,
please say where your information comes from. Typical
information sources are the machine itself, a flyers, memory,
or from being involved in the design of the machine.
\\
- The InformationItself::
Once the formalities are done, send us all the information you
want. We're interested in pretty much anything related
to any pinball machine.

If you're sending us information about a machine that's not
in the database already, please be as thorough as possible.
We're reluctant to add machines to the database unless we have
at least the name, manufacturer and year the machine was
released, although we do make exceptions to that rule when we
feel it's warranted.
\\
- Want to sendphotos? ::
Sure you do! If you have a photo that you feel would be useful
in the database, perhaps a picture of a machine that's
currently without, or a new view or a photo that's an
improvement over one we already have, please e-mail it to
.

We prefer JPEG images with very high quality (low
compression), at least 400 pixels wide. We're interested in
all types of illustrations, including scanned flyers,
posters, ads, instruction cards and even schematics.
\\
- Who are You? ::
Finally, please let us know who you are. Include an e-mail
address in case we need to contact you.
\\
